At East Barnet School we seek to give every student the best possible educational experience We wish all students to achieve excellent results and be inspired by the learning that goes on in their lessons In order to help us achieve this students must give very careful consideration to the advice they will receive in the next few months regarding their GCSE options

The Curriculum throughout the first three years of secondary education is fixed for all students with no element of choice However at KS4 students are able to choose many of the courses they wish to pursue with a core of subjects remainingcompulsory Thus students are involved in creating a far more individual timetable to suit their interests and strengths

It is important that students study a broad and balanced curriculum The English Baccalaureate is recognized by the Government as an important indicator of success This means that students need to achieve a good grade in English Maths Science a Modern Foreign Language and History or Geography Our options procedure is designed so that students will make choices that will enable them to achieve this qualification

All the courses are delivered by staff who are experts in their own particular subject areas and who have consistently managed to get the best out of their students The Year 9 subject teachers know the students in their classes and will offer help and guidance to assist them in making their choices wisely Mr Iordanou (Assistant Headteacher) will also provide much valuable advice

As students enter KS4 we would expect them to become increasingly mature in their attitude and approach towards their studies The demands of their GCSE courses are considerable and students will need to organise their time and work in a responsible and mature manner in preparation for non-examined assessments (coursework) and examinations Good attendance and punctuality will be a key factor as it will become increasingly important to be present for all lessons

We are proud of the standards achieved by students at KS4 and expect that current Year 9 students will be even more successful than their predecessors

Changes to the Curriculum - 2016 OnwardsAs you may have heard there have been a number of changes in education which will impact on the way our students are to be taught and assessed over the next few years Some of these are being brought in over a period of time but some will impact on our current Year 9 students We will continue to provide the very highest quality teaching so that our students are able to perform to their very best in their GCSEs but a summary of the key changes affecting your child are outlined below

Key changes

1 For the majority of subjects students will now be graded using the new grading scale that uses numbers 1 (lowest) to 9 (highest) which will now replace the old grading system of A to G

2 In English and Maths students will now be assessed only by examination This lsquolinearrsquo assessment started in September 2015 and means that all Year 9 students will sit their GCSE exams at the end of the course For current Year 9 students this will mean sitting exams in May June 2018 Year 9 students will not have coursework in English (currently called lsquoControlled Assessmentsrsquo) but will be assessed at the very end of the course by examinations

There are various other changes which are subject specific and these are outlined on the subject specific page in this booklet If you have any queries do not hesitate to contact the relevant department and they will be happy to help

s Core SubjectsIt is compulsory for all students to study English Mathematics and Science in Key Stage4 Students in Year 10 and 11 are divided into two half year groups each of which containsthe same spread of ability In each of these subjects there will be several sets composed ofstudents who are expected to achieve the highest grades

Decisions about groups in English Mathematics and Science are made by the respective departments and any questions relating to this can be asked at the forthcoming consultation evening

Optional Subjectsbull When making your choices the subject to start with is Science All students will take either

Core + Combined Science (two GCSE subjects) or Separate Sciences (separate subjects in Physics Chemistry and Biology) Both alternatives have positive advantages

Choosing Separate Sciences will increase the amount of time spent on each Science but limits the number of optional subjects which can be chosen

Before any choice is made it is important to seek advice from the studentrsquos Science Teacher at the forthcoming consultation evening

bull The next step is to choose a subject from the Humanities block (Group 2) a subject from the Modern Foreign Languages block (Group 3) and a subject from the Technology block (Group 4)

The choice of Modern Foreign Language will depend on what the student studies in Year 9 For advice please speak to the appropriate Modern Foreign Languages Teacher

bull The final step is to choose subjects from Group 5 to make up seven options This will depend on the choice of Science subject ie

If Combined Science is chosen two subjects must be chosen from Group 5If Separate Sciences are chosen one subject must be chosen from Group 5

In addition all students follow courses in PE PSHEE and Religious Studies

Content of CourseOur general aims are to ensure that students develop language skills for life and that they learn to read write and talk fluently accurately intelligently and in a variety of styles so that they can deal with the demands of an increasingly complex world

English Language revolves around students developing these language skills through written work speaking and listening drama and non-fiction Students are expected to produce substantial pieces of written work Homework set will include background reading research revision and extended pieces of writing

The two English Language examinations involve students responding to unseen texts from the 19th 20th and 21st centuries Students are also required to write fiction and non-fiction texts eg a short story a letter or a diary entry

The assessment pattern for GCSE has undergone significant changes In English Language three areas are assessed speaking and listening reading and writing The assessment is now made up of 100 terminal examinations

English Literature is also now assessed completely by terminal examinations The two English Literature examinations require students to respond to the following texts studied in class

A Christmas Carol ndash Charles DickensAn Inspector Calls ndash JB PriestleyMacbeth ndash William ShakespeareA collection of 15 poems from The Edexcel Conflict Poetry Anthology

French | German | SpanishAll students are expected to study a Modern Foreign Language and they need to choose a language which they have already been taught If a student has learnt two languages in Key Stage 3 heshe can choose either to do one language or both However if a student chooses hisher second language heshe will need the approval of the relevant Head of Department

Contact Mr J Giffen (Head of French V Guenole | Head of German J Wolf | Head of Spanish E Page)

Content of CourseThis will be a new GCSE course and at the time of writing only one of the four examination boards has had its specification approved Therefore we have not yet decided which board we will be using However all of the courses will build on and expand material taught at Key Stage 3 and will continue to develop the four skills of listening speaking reading and writing Grammar will also be taught in the context of the topic areas which will be similar for all the exam boards Topics Identity amp Culture (me family amp friends technology in everyday life free-time activities) local national international amp global areas of interest (home town neighbourhood amp region social issues global issues travel amp tourism) current amp future study amp employment (my studies life at school education post-16 jobs career choices amp ambitions)

AssessmentExamination Board TBC (see above)

Each of the four skills (Listening Speaking Reading and Writing) will be assessed through exams at the end of the 2 year course and will be worth 25 of the overall mark These exams will include short translations into and from the foreign language Two tiers of examination (Foundation and Higher) are offered in all of the four skills but students must take the same tier for each exam

Why is studying a language usefulEmployees with good language skills generally receive better pay and exporters record substantially more sales if they are able to speak the relevant foreign language Learning how to communicate in another language improves your communication skills and helps your own understanding of your own language In addition studies have shown that students who study a language get better exam results in all subjects than those who give languages up even in Science and Mathematics

Progression routesAs part of the English Baccalaureate a GCSE in a Modern Foreign Language is an important qualification A GCSE in Languages is a good starting point for anyone interested in careers in the following areas Business Law Performing Arts Tourism Journalism Catering Science and Education (primary and secondary) Having a GCSE in a language is now an entry requirement for all courses at several good universities At East Barnet School all three languages are offered at AS and A2 Level

Community LanguagesSpeakers of other languages (eg Turkish Greek etc) can arrange to do a GCSE in this language at school but will not receive any tuition in the language These students will still be expected to study French German or Spanish for GCSE

ts Non Examined Assessments amp HomeworkAs students move into Key Stage 4 they will be expected to become increasingly mature and responsible in how they approach their work The demands of GCSE are without doubt extensive and therefore it is vital that students are organised and keep up to date with what is expected of them

For the majority of subjects final GCSE grades will be awarded via assessment in exams most of which will now be taken at the end of Year 11 In a few subjects final grades will be awarded from internal assessment now known as Non Examined Assessments These Non Examined Assessments have replaced units of coursework but essentially are the same in outcome Students will need to plan in advance and for the most part complete the assessments in class

Homework will be an important feature for students as they prepare for their GCSErsquos Each subject will have its own distinctive approach to this challenge Some subjects will require traditional written exercises like essays in History for example to be completed Others like Product Design will require more practical tasks

For each subject taken students will be expected to spend the equivalent of about one hour per week working outside of normal lessons usually at home Students must try to use their time sensibly to plan and prepare for Non Examined Assessments

There are also numerous homework clubs that are organised by subject areas during both Year 10 and 11 and we will seek to guide and support students in their preparations For example if an assignment cannot be completed without the use of specialist equipment such as drawing boards computers or workshop facilities then we will ensure that work may be continued at school out of lesson time

We recommend that students use their homework diary every day to help them organise their workload Students will be given the dates of forthcoming assessments in class

The amount of work to be done can be daunting We hope that by students parents and teachers working together it will be both manageable and ultimately highly successful

Detention Any member of staff may detain students after school for unsatisfactory work or behaviour Students in Years 10-13 can be detained for up to 30 minutes without warning but can be detained for longer periods with prior written notice at least 24 hours in advance or parental consent

At East Barnet School we seek to give every student the best possible educational experience We wish all students to achieve excellent results and be inspired by the learning that goes on in their lessons In order to help us achieve this students must give very careful consideration to the advice they will receive in the next few months regarding their GCSE options

The Curriculum throughout the first three years of secondary education is fixed for all students with no element of choice However at KS4 students are able to choose many of the courses they wish to pursue with a core of subjects remainingcompulsory Thus students are involved in creating a far more individual timetable to suit their interests and strengths

It is important that students study a broad and balanced curriculum The English Baccalaureate is recognized by the Government as an important indicator of success This means that students need to achieve a good grade in English Maths Science a Modern Foreign Language and History or Geography Our options procedure is designed so that students will make choices that will enable them to achieve this qualification

All the courses are delivered by staff who are experts in their own particular subject areas and who have consistently managed to get the best out of their students The Year 9 subject teachers know the students in their classes and will offer help and guidance to assist them in making their choices wisely Mr Iordanou (Assistant Headteacher) will also provide much valuable advice

As students enter KS4 we would expect them to become increasingly mature in their attitude and approach towards their studies The demands of their GCSE courses are considerable and students will need to organise their time and work in a responsible and mature manner in preparation for non-examined assessments (coursework) and examinations Good attendance and punctuality will be a key factor as it will become increasingly important to be present for all lessons

We are proud of the standards achieved by students at KS4 and expect that current Year 9 students will be even more successful than their predecessors
